* Only the latest pass/fail result per course per student is used. We use approximately the last 24 months of results in our calculation. Student failed results are only counted as part of this calculation if the student completed the class, which is defined as at least 85% attendance and 85% completion of assignments for that specific class. Results do not include college entrance or state license exams.

By being truly independent, we offer a non-biased approach to recommending the best possible college route to our students. While Achieve Test Prep is an expert on the policies and procedures of many colleges, the final decisions about credits and degrees rest with the colleges. You must independently apply for and be accepted into a college.
